An account in Yvelines, France

On September 5, 1977, between 10:30 PM and 11:15 PM, three people observed an unusual phenomenon in the sky for several minutes. All witnesses described the movements of a red-orange glowing ball that, according to the witnesses, remained still or moved from right to left and from top to bottom before taking a downward trajectory and disappearing. No trace on the ground was found in the area. This phenomenon appears to have followed a NE-SW trajectory. Too few details were given to validate any particular hypothesis. This case is classified as C due to lack of information.
